once you listen to an expensive set of headphones, then you will know.
it's a huge difference.
i listened to a nice set of Sennheiser HD 650 headphones a friend had just bought,
haven't even broken them in,
and a/b'd them against my akg240's....
now i can't even stand to listen to the akg's, because i know how far off they are.
at least i learned where the deficiencies are in my headphones.
wow.
